El Capitan Release time?

I cant get 'land line' broadband here in the UK, too far from the exchange, very rural.

Really fortunate to have a 4g mast 1.75 miles line of sight on 1800 spectrum, and get 45 mb DL approx at £27.50 UKP per month for 50 GB (it stops when data runs out so no nasty bills!), I feel fortunate.

What is the average speed & cost for broadband from home in Australia & USA etc?

This answer depends heavily on your definition of "broadband."
 
Here at school

with that being a Uni with others connected, those are _extremely_ impressive speeds.

So that's actually the Ethernet speed, so maybe that's a little unfair. But I just did a Wi-Fi test from my dorm room, and it's also impressive (but definitely not as crazy).

Why fresh install ? I mean upgrade should be as reliable... I guess. Upgraded from 8.1 to windows 10 and it was so smooth it felt like a fresh install. I think it should be the case with OS X

I like a completely clean system. Moreover, I don't have too many apps installed ... so it takes me 15 minutes to download and install again.
 
I work at a university so have a janet connection, only trouble is the network guys are taking forever to replace the switches with gigabit so my internet connection is limited by the 100mb ethernet :confused:

If El Cap in around 7 GB that is 1 min 28 sec download time, less than making a cup of tea! that's insane!

Its a school though, so they might slow downloads of non faculty. Still even so it would prob be thousands of times faster than me w me 20mb connection
 
Don't forget we (Europe at least) are on DST still, so it's GMT+1 for UK and GMT+2 for western europe, i.e 6pm/7pm for El Cap release.
